I'll tell you a secret. I am a fan of Rolie Polie Olie. Okay, so I don’t TiVo it or anything, but today I heard the theme song and was reminded of how cute it is. If you’ve watched Playhouse Disney, you know the song… "Way up high in the rolie polie sky is a little round planet of really nice guys." Awwww… and yet sometimes friends can make you feel embarrassed about liking something that's not "cool" to them. In fact there was just a show on Arthur about this very thing. Maybe you saw it while eating your after school snack? Don’t ever forget to trust what's right for you in your heart and to "follow your bliss”. It sounds simple to “like what you like” until somebody else criticizes you for it. That can be hard. There’s some comfort in knowing that if we were all shaped by the same cookie cutter, things would be pretty dull around our creative little blue planet of really nice guys and gals.
Journaling Idea: Curl up with your favorite mug of cocoa and take a couple of minutes to write down your favorite "comfort TV shows" whether it's Arthur, Maya & Miguel, Shark Week, or have you seen Bob Ross the painter with his very curly hair on PBS? He’s fun to watch because he’s a talented painter and because of the things he says when he paints - and teaches others to paint. Introducing his “happy little trees" and thinking aloud about “Where does the stream live in your world?” I just have to smile. Your list is just for you safe and sound in the pages of your diary so it doesn’t have to match what your friends like.

I would like to recommend a book that fits this subject entitled, A Bad Case Of Stripes. It is about a girl who loves lima beans and has a great message!
